Spring Break Projects

Oh man, I love spring break.  It's amazing how much I can get done during the day when I'm not at school!

Here are some projects I've been working on and have finally finished!

This was just an old lamp I had, thought I'd spice it up a little bit and put it in our bedroom. 

I didn't realize how long it would take me to finish it. . .

 80 rosettes later, a couple burnt fingers, and some paint. . . and it was finished! 

 I also finished my burlap wreath.  Good for "year around."

I love being home.

 11 Random Things about me...

1.  I have never and will never eat a hot tamale.  It's just one of those weird things.  I don't really like cinnamon candy like that, but I just refuse to try them.  It's just one of those things.

2.  If I was done with school I would have a baby right now.  I'm so incredibly baby hungry it's ridiculous.  I've always been this way but it's gotten worse since I've been married. 

3.  I have never had short hair.  Nor have I ever dyed it.  I'm way too scared to do either.

4. If I could make crafts all day long I would.  I've always loved crafting, I just wish I had more time to do it! 

5.  I love pasta.  I could eat it for every meal if I wasn't worried about gaining weight in all the wrong places. ha

6.  I haven't really been shopping since I've been married.  Granted I don't really need more clothes, but I've always just love getting new things every now and then, who doesn't?  Ever since I met Matt I started saving every last dime from my paycheck, versus spending them on clothes. . . I had a feeling I should start saving my money after I met him. ;) 

7.  I LOVE popcorn.  Easily one of my favorite snacks. 

8. I have this reoccurring dream at least once a month that my teeth just start falling out.  They get so loose that when I talk they just start falling out and I have to cup my hand to my mouth to catch all my teeth.   It's my WORST NIGHTMARE and I have it ALL THE TIME!

9. I have never really liked chocolate.  Chocolate cake, chocolate frosting,  brownies, chocolate pudding, chocolate ice cream. . . .  YUCK.  But I'll eat some chocolate like candy bars and some chocolate chip cookies and stuff but I'm super picky about it.  I just prefer vanilla over chocolate.   

10.  When I get really nervous I blush real bad or get blotchy.  I hate it.  The first time I noticed it was when I was in like 5th grade, back stage getting ready to compete a solo and I was so freaked out by it that I ran out to go find my mom just minutes before I had to dance.  I think it made me more nervous than I was to dance. 

11.  One of my life long goals is to visit Europe.  I never been out of the country (Besides visiting Niagara Falls in Canada for a couple hours) but I would love to some day. I would especially love to go to France or Germany.

Questions Whit wanted me to answer: 

1. What scares you the most?

I'd say that losing someone really close to me is my biggest fear.  I can't imagine anything scarier       than that.  I'm an emotional baby about everything.  

2. What do you love to do?

Obviously I love to dance...duh.  But lately I have just loved getting home from work and cuddling up to Matt and watching a movie, or some stupid show like WIPE OUT on t.v.  Those moments where I don't have to do anything and can just relax at home with the hubby are my favorite.  I wait for this moment all day. 

3. Where do you want to be 5 years from now?

In mine and matt's dream home up in Park City.  We've always wanted to live up there and we are going to make it happen, just you wait. ha ;) Oh, and I would LOVE to have some children by then also. What can I say, I'm baby hungry. :)

4. Who is your hero?

Honestly, I'd have to say my mom.  I admire her in so many ways and hope and pray that I can one day be the mom to my kids as she has been to us.  She is practically perfect in my eyes.  

5. If you could go back in time, what time period would you go to and why?

I would love to have lived in the Romantic Era... in my dance history class we've been learning about the development of ballet and such and I just wish I was born in that era.... I might have actually been tall with really long legs if I was a dancer in that era! 

6. What makes you laugh the most?

WIPE OUT. . . I'm serious.  That show cracks me up.  Always good for a good laugh.  Oh and my sister Camille makes me laugh too.  When we get together we are always laughing about something I swear.   

7. What's your dream job?

To be a mommy.  Seriously, that's my dream job.  I can't WAIT for the day!  But, if I had to chose something else I'd have to say a Dance Teacher in a high school.  I love teaching and I love dancing so it is the perfect combination.  That's what I'm going to school for so it better pay off someday! ;) 

8. What's something that you have learned up to this point in your life?

I've learned that life is just a series of stages.  You can find happiness in each of those stages but to not linger in the past and to really live and find happiness in the "now."  So deep. 

9. What's something that really stands out to you from your childhood?

I have this weird memory of me and my brother when we were living in our old house in Bountiful.  We shared a bunk bed and I remember making up songs with Blake while still laying in bed, singing about what we were going to do that day.  They usually would be something like, "First I'll wake up, and then go get some breakfast... probably have some rice crispy treats, then we'll watch some cartoons..." and they would go on and on.  I was like 4 or 5.  Haha funny memory I have of us two, especially if you know my brother at all.  

10. What is your favorite part of the day?

Once I get home from teaching. . . .around 9 o'clock at night is my favorite time of the day.  That's when I get to spend time with the husband finally!

11. What is one of your goals in life?

To open up a small dance studio in my basement with a big mirror and beautiful hard wood floor.  In NO WAY do I want to open up my own competition studio or anything so completely time consuming, but to have that as a side job to just teach some classes and to have some fun little dance recitals.
